cram is a very good tool for testing in this manner: a test file is basically a copy/paste of a terminal window, deviations from expected behavior are represented using diffs, and `cram -i` will prompt you to update the test file with actual output. and it supports globbing and regular expressions for fuzzy matching. i've been using cram for everything i write for what feels like a decade (it'll be 10 years old in september), and though it has it's limits, i bitch and moan about it very little given how much i rely on it. if you'd know me you'd recognize that this is a huge endorsement, i'm quite vocal about my disdain for most software in existence. :) edit: s/i'll/it'll/ rofl edit: url: https://bitheap.org/cram/ https://bitheap.org/cram/
